I closed a few mod reports today and got pushed over 10,000 posts.
What I was going to do was wait for a really bad thread to pop up and say "This thread is so bad that I wasted my 10,000th post on closing it."
Oh well.
You need a 10k post blog.
10,000 pony pics: gogo.

SolidMustard was just temp banned for 2 days by semioldguy.
That account was created on 2011-05-15 23:18:34 and had 827 posts.
Reason: "might get banned for this"
Doesn't matter what you have to say, if you say that you'll get banned whether what you say after is bannable or not.
If you think you might get banned for something... why would you post it?
Am I the only one who thinks this guy has a terrible username? When I hear "solid mustard" I think of the old, dry, crusty old mustard that collects on the top of the bottle and dries.....

Strange. I was thinking about a retired Metal Gear Solid character making camoe appearances in Cluedo (AKA Clue).

Don't forget his evil brother Liquid Mustard and their father Big Hotdog.

In Norway we have a word for that; "snerk". It's a really disgusting sounding word, describing a really disgusting thing. I'm sure any other Norwegian you meet can attest to this.
By the way, I noticed three bans for martyring today (and seeing as i'm too lazy to check), was this just a coincidence or was one particular thread just a big martyr-magnet?

Without even checking, my first guess would be Orb related. As soon as I saw that whole stuff, I knew it was bans waiting to happen. It's one of those places where brain-to-keyboard filters are destined to fail.

Considering the thread is at 121 pages, there's surprisingly few bans from it.

I agree, the mods have been letting lots of stuff go in there. I think it will be closed soon as it's getting pretty silly.

I was thinking of mustard gas. That username just sounds like a weapon. I assumed it came from that toxic Orb/EG thread, too.

That second one was from the Bnet server for Africa thread isn't it? I recall there were a lot of cringe-worthy threads posts in there.
-edit: Fruedian slip?

Bah, semioldguy is a hero for just giving me a warning. Just got pissed because some asshat who knows nothing about the situation comes in and badmouths lastshadow. I'm not even an ls fan >.<
Then he has the audacity to make some shitty umad post. Rawr...

I'm hoping that top-down community influence works out for the SC2 community. Games communities drove me away from MP for years; right now the reaction of so many people in these threads is disheartening.
It's like they don't understand they're interacting with real flesh and blood people.
You'd be surprised how many people are actually genuinely great posters. They tend not to post a lot but there are many nice people here. Often it seems worse than it really is. The loudest tend to get heard so they shout and shout until the mods take out the baseball bats and politely bash them into a bloody silence. There are always thousands of people on TL so it can be hard to keep the right perspective.
Finally most of the intelligent people avoid those threads like the plague. If you want a nice little community that is always friendly and never insults each other you should come play some forum Mafia with us 
Polite games are not guaranteed. In fact they almost never happen but that is half the fun.

That sounds like an enjoyable time.
You're right that there are a number of thoughtful posters in the community and thanks for reminding me.

Just came here to post this.
That thread is going to be hilarious, half the posts in the first couple pages seem ban or warning-worthy already.

Ummmm... I feel this was a bit harsh. He wasn't even attempting to flame with what he posted, you have to be more lenient with newbies or strangers to your game, his question was merely seeking basic knowledge. Unless he has a history of doing this sort of thing and you know he's being malicious in which case disregard this post.

So im seeing that LoL is even outnumbering dota 2 stream by a huge margin. What makes LoL so much more popular than dota? I mean it is a derivative of dota.
User was temp banned for this post.
sharky246 was just temp banned for 2 days by Beyonder.
That account was created on 2010-11-15 17:36:53 and had 603 posts.
Reason: Stop derailing LR threads into game X vs game Y discussions?
Additionally, I feel like some of the direct responses to Sharky246 merit more punishment than Sharkys' post. People quoting him/her and saying "Stop derailing the thread" is a logical fallacy as well as being a dick. This isn't meant to point out any other individuals to garner punishment, just throwing out how I perceive the situation and hopefully gather a few responses.
To touch up on the "Stop derailing thread posts" - Not only do you contribute nothing, but you are actively doing what you are setting out to prevent. You A) Have posted something useless B) Requoted the post that may possibly derail it further if other people see it follow in your example and C) Automatically assume a (possibly) valid question is trolling, and shut the user down in a negative light and shun them from the thread/community.
What do I think would have been the better alternatives to this response?
Good: PMed Sharky246 asking if that was indeed a derailment post or even telling them to straight out "Stop derailing x thread". It is in my belief it is always better to move the discussion to PM's and avoid cluttering up the thread
Better: Don't say anything at all, if you don't have anything nice to say. Also if there is a Mod warning, you may point them toward that direction but don't take it upon yourself to directly tell people to kindly be quiet.
Best: Give them a short and concise answer to their inquiry. In this case something along the lines of.
"Hey Sharky246, there are many contributing factors to why LoL is more popular than Dota even if it is a game originating from Dota. For instance, LoL is free to play, as well as less demanding of a computer graphically making it more available to the majority of gamers as opposed to Dota. Additionally LoL gameplay is seen as more fun to play and casually entertaining than Dota while being less hardcore. These are some of the most important factors, to why I think LoL is more popular than Dota"

Its an LR thread, not a thread to debate or ask why one game is more watched then the other. Clearly a flame-inviting post and whether it was intended as a troll or legitimate it shouldn't be asked in an LR thread.
Go into a BW LR thread and ask why SC2 is watched so much more and see how long you last with a moderator.
To try and get this back to funny bans and the discussion of them I found this one pretty humorous
